Re: 1988 lm318 carburetor
The stb engine is now running right. The primary carb system's accelerator pump and the power piston were gummed up. We sprayed some seafoam inside and freed them up. The engine started easier. When the secondary throttle opened the engine back fired and we had to back off. We were concentrating our...

Re: 1988 lm318 carburetor

Re: Nautolex - Original White w/Charcoal Stripes
I bought a roll of that original pattern for my 28'. Then I decided it was more work than I wanted to do and cut new 5/8" plywood and had it sprayed with grey bedliner. One of the best things I did and didn't need to buy marine grade plywood.

Stray DC current
I was testing the voltage at the distribution panels for the lower helm by switching the breakers on and off. The shower pump terminal still read .13 volt with the breaker switch off. The stereo terminal read .47 volt with the switch off. What's going on? After 29 years are the old airpax breakers s...

Re: Tachometer Replacement
